FERRU LE FOR CAN ES, U M BRELLAS, 84.0.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435,215, dated August26, 1890.

Application filed January 6, 1890. Serial No. 335,951. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL W. EVANS, J r., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, StateofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fer-rulesfor Canes, Umbrellas, &c., which improvement is fully set forth in thefollowing specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a ferrule having a tip which is connected withthe same in a secure and reliable manner, as will be hereinafter setforth and definitely claimed.

Figures 1 and 2 representlongitudinal sections of a ferrule embodying myinvention, the same showing different steps in the manufacture.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a ferrule, and B designates thepoint thereof, which latter is conical, and especially so in its head.The ferrule is constructed of sheet metal, preferably of the form of aconical shell, the narrow end whereof is set back, forming there-entering wall C and crimped edge D, the center of said wall beingperforated, as at E. The point is inserted into the ferrule within theedge D and against the wall C, and the said wall is then bent by a suit-0 able tool or implement, so as to form the flange E, which embraces theinner side of the head of the point, thus clamping said head betweensaid flange and the crimped edge of the ferrule. By this provision thepoint is securely 5 connected with the ferrule and firmly sustainedthereon while in use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A ferrule provided with a flange and a point having the inner side ofthe head thereof embraced by said flange to clamp said point to theferrule, substantially as described.

' 2. A ferrule having a crimped edge and a 45 flange within said edgefor securing a point to the ferrule, substantially as described.
